Hello,
Our product is 3V battery Operated, And fit outsides, and uses ceramic capacitor of 25V or above.
Devices are installed for 1 year.
In 1 year, in some devices, after 3-5 months, ceramic capacitors cause leakage current, So, the device's battery drains fast.
In deep sleep our device consumes 3.7uA, but when this issue occurs it consumes about 3mA-10mA.
In PCB placing, there is no mechanical strain on PCB components, all capacitors are on top side, and don't touch anything.
We found that, In 90% or above cases, capacitors values 10uF or above more causes leakage current after 4-5 months.
When measuring resistance of these capacitor, it shows about 10-100kohms.
We want to know what causes this issue, and how we can solve this?
Thank You
